Simultaneous positive and negative frequency-dependent selection on sperm bindin, a gamete recognition protein in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2010

Levitan Don R, Stapper Andres Plata

Abstract excerpt

Gamete-recognition proteins often, but not always, evolve rapidly. We explored how variation in sperm bindin influences reproductive success of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus during group spawning in the sea. Despite large variation in male and female abundance and neighbor distance...
